Continuing the Wool Journey

So I continue the journey of knitting with the beautiful Lion Brand Fisherman’s Wool in Light Cream. It’s such a pleasure working with this wool. It’s amazing. I can’t wait to go to Michael’s and get some more… and in more colours. I have a cool idea that will be also sharing with you of course 🙂 … as soon as it’s done.

I finished this cowl today. This stitch is often referred to as “brick pattern” but I like “weaved basket” better 🙂 I managed to take exactly one photo of my son wearing it today. He’s not much of a photo guy. He usually wants to look where I am looking, not stand in front of the camera. 😆

UPDATE: The pattern is very simple. Cast on multiples of 8 (I had 112 sts total). Then *P3, K2, P6, K2* till the last 3sts. P3. I used circular needles (5 1/2 mm; 40cm/15.7″)so I didn’t have to do WS. On the second round, *P2, K2, P6, K2* until last 4 sts, P4. Repeat these 2 rounds twice. Then K 2 rounds. I did a total of 10 “weaves” ending with 2 K rounds before casting off.

This is lovely..cute poppet too.. 😀 Would you mind telling me the make and model of the camera used please?..My Olympus has had to go to the camera shop in the Sky and my mobile just isn’t cutting the mustard so desperately looking for a replacement…. thanks muchly hun….

I used circular needles just because I don’t like having an edge on my hats. This yarn is very stretchy so next time I make this pattern with this yarn, I will cast on 100 sts or less. It became huge with 121 sts. I also used 6mm needles which made it fluffier - which I like. Because I used circular needles, I managed to save some yarn length. So with the le […]

I'll write about my adventures in sewing, pattern design, fabrics, notions, sewing books, magazines and the lessons I've learned from my Mother along the way. I'll be adding Knitting as well now that I have my own knitting buisness.
